Pocket-sized USB 3.0 storage

The GoHardDrive 80GB portable drive adds external capacity through a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 connection. It draws power directly from the host port so no separate adapter is needed. The aluminium chassis protects the 2.5-inch mechanism inside a slim silver shell. It works with Windows, macOS, PS4 and Xbox One after a quick reformat.

80 GB capacity with 5400 RPM mechanics

Eighty gigabytes holds documents, photos and a modest game library on laptops or consoles. The 5400 RPM spindle delivers steady sequential throughput for media playback and backups. Random-access workloads such as large database files or simultaneous installs will hit the mechanical latency limit. The USB 3.0 link caps at 5.0 Gbps so the drive itself is the bottleneck.

Bus-powered aluminium enclosure

A single USB 3.0 Type-A cable supplies both data and power, freeing a wall socket and reducing cable clutter. The drive is recognised automatically on supported systems without driver installation. Users needing more than 80 GB or faster random I/O should consider higher-capacity or solid-state alternatives. The slim profile slips into a laptop bag pocket alongside the host device.

Questions about this item

Will the 80GB drive work on an older laptop that only has USB 2.0 ports?

Yes, the drive is compatible with USB 2.0 ports and will operate at USB 2.0 speeds when connected to them.

How can I confirm the drive is running at the advertised 5.0 gbps transfer rate after setup?

Connect it to a USB 3.0 port and run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark; sequential read and write results should approach the 5.0 gbps interface limit.

Does the package include a USB 3.0 cable or must I buy one separately?

The drive is a pocket-sized enclosure with a built-in USB 3.0 interface; no separate cable or power adapter is required.
